in this southern Pittsburg, we had only
time to get o Whit Of coal dust and stop

we are off again for Cincinnati.
We had an all night ride through the
mountains on the mountains and over
the mountains into the beautiful blue

Cincinnati Southern Is rough and mono
tonous, and one who Is used to such n
routine life soon falls to counting sweet

the grand old Cumberlands when we are
aroused by the stentorian tones of the
brakeman calling out 1--WE Will soon

tried to take in the grand sight, but the
pale yellow beams Of fair Luna were not
equal to the occasion.

The Ohio was out of Its banks and thous.

secured transfer checks before landing
